Aliens Topple Superheroes At The U.S. Box Office
27 May 2012 6:36 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Will Smith's alien comedy Men In Black III beamed its way to the top of the U.S. box office over the weekend (25-27May12), putting an end to the reign of superhero smash The Avengers.
The widely-anticipated Men in Black sequel, which marks Smith's return to the big screen for the first time in four years, raked in $55 million (£34 million), while Mark Ruffalo's adventure epic - which had held onto the top spot for three weeks running - grossed $37 million (£23 million), pushing its earnings from American ticket sales to $514 million (£321 million).
Even though The Avengers failed to hold onto its coveted first place position, the record-breaking film earned yet another honour after becoming only the fourth movie ever to top half a billion dollars domestically in the U.S.
In third was Rihanna's Battleship with takings of $10.8 million (£7.8 million), while controversial comedy The Dictator earned $9.6 million (£6 million) to land fourth and rounding out the top five is Chernobyl Diaries ($8 million/£5 million). »

Marc Alan Fishman: Hulk Smash Puny TeeVee
26 May 2012 12:55 PM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
This past weekend I decided to place my vote (that’s “Dollar Bills” to DC’s Bob Wayne) for The Avengers for a second time. I did it first and foremost to teach Liam Neeson a lesson: If you don’t know the movie adaptation of a board game is a bad idea, maybe you need a new agent. Second to that, I personally wanted to see the film again to revel in Mark Ruffalo’s performance as the Hulk. If there were to be a single break-out star (pun intended) of the film, Bruce Banner certainly was it. For many who saw The Avengers, this is a shared sentiment. So, this begs us to ask the dudes at the House of Mouse… What’s next for the spinach-hued smasher?
If we are to believe the internet (and when has that ever led us down the wrong path?), The Hulk »

Brad Pitt is Jackie Cogan, an enforcer investigating the robbery of a high stakes poker tournament protected by the mob in Andrew Dominik's comedic crime thriller Killing Them Softly.

Jim Parsons Gay / Harvey / The Normal Heart
24 May 2012 9:42 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Jim Parsons gay? Well, as per the New York Times, yes, the Big Bang Theory actor "is gay and in a 10-year relationship." No more details are given out. No explanations as to why the Times made a point of outing Parsons, who says nothing about his private life or sexual orientation during an interview focusing on a Broadway revival of Harvey in which Parsons stars in the old James Stewart movie role of the, huh, eccentric bachelor whose pal is a big rabbit (Harvey) that only he can see. In addition to his stage work, the Houston-born, 39-year-old Parsons has been seen in movies and on television since 2002. His TV breakthrough was, of course, The Big Bang Theory, which has earned him two Emmys and a Golden Globe. On the big screen, Jim Parsons hasn’t made much of a mark yet, as he has almost invariably been cast in minor supporting roles. »

Edward Norton Comments on The Avengers
22 May 2012 5:32 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
After "The Incredible Hulk" movie hit theaters, negotiations between Marvel and Edward Norton quickly broke down for Norton to return for a sequel. Angry words were exchanged and the actor was eventually replaced by Mark Ruffalo in "The Avengers." Now, during a press junket for "Moonrise Kingdom," Hitfix asked Norton to comment on "The Avengers" and Ruffalo's performance. "Mark is like a brother to me," he said. "Besides, he's got two kids, and I'm really happy he gets to have this moment with them." Regarding his thoughts on the actual film, the actor said that he has yet to see it, mostly because "it just isn't very important to me." »
Box Office: The Avengers Surpasses Star Wars?
22 May 2012 4:08 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
The Avengers: Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America With a cume of $463.35m after 18 days, Joss Whedon’s The Avengers has surpassed George Lucas’ Star Wars ($460.99m) at the domestic box office, thus officially becoming the fifth biggest blockbuster in history. By next weekend, The Avengers should surpass Lucas’ Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace ($474.54m) to become the fourth biggest domestic blockbuster in history. Impressive? Of course. Any way you look at it, The Avengers‘ box-office performance, whether in North America or abroad, has been phenomenal. The Disney / Marvel actioner has surpassed the expectations of most — if not all — prognosticators. Now, having said that, The Avengers is not a box-office phenomenon on a par with Star Wars. Not even close. Studio/media spin and p.r. b.s. aside, the true barometer of a movie’s success is how many tickets it has sold, »

Edward Norton Is 'Really Happy' About Mark Ruffalo's 'Avengers' Success
22 May 2012 11:00 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Mark Ruffalo is getting a lot of love for "The Avengers," and why shouldn't he? The Oscar-nominated actor did the seemingly impossible in Earth's mightiest superhero movie by delivering a Hulk that not only works, but flourishes and steals the entire show. No easy feat for the Jade Giant, who has now made three big-screen appearances, with only one receiving near-universal adoration.
But — and I have no shame in admitting this — I'm an "Incredible Hulk" fan. I loved what Edward Norton did with Bruce Banner. I thought the second Marvel Studios film was an underrated blockbuster, one that wasn't nearly as flashy or obviously great as "Iron Man," but a strong movie all the same. I was disappointed to see Norton leave the franchise, even if I'm incredibly happy with the results in the end.
For Norton's own part, it doesn't appear that there's any bitterness between him and Ruffalo. »

The big finale of "American Idol"'s 11th season is finally upon us this week, and we noticed that this year's two finalists look as cut out for the camera as they do for the stage (hello Phillip Phillips!).

In fact, there have been a lot of reality stars in general who've made a name in the movie scene. Here are our top 15.
15. Carrie Underwood, 'American Idol'

For "Idol" Season 4 winner Carrie Underwood, five Grammys, dozens of other accolades, four successful albums, and pretty hair just wasn't enough.

Edward Norton On Marvel's The Avengers: "It Just Isn't Very Important To Me"
22 May 2012 4:00 AM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
I'm sure you have all heard the story - or stories - behind Edward Norton not returning to play Bruce Banner/The Hulk in Joss Whedon's The Avengers. After playing the character in The Incredible Hulk it was more or less assumed that it was a done deal, and he would be back to reprise the role. But this was not to be - the reasons why would depend on who you asked about it. Some took Norton's side, some Marvel's, but I'm sure most people think it's moot now anyway as we ended up with a pretty great replacement in Mark Ruffalo. But how is Norton feeling about the whole thing now that the movie is out?.. Mark is like a brother to me," he said, praising "Avengers" star Mark Ruffalo's commitment to his work overall.

The Avengers Still No. 1 At Box Office

Los Angeles, California (x17online) - The superheroes from The Avengers are still on top of the box office for the third week in a row since its debut. The blockbuster starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo and Samuel L. Jackson took in $55 million to remain in the top spot. The film has made $450 million domestically since its May 4 opening. While The Avengers continue on its torrid pace, another big blockbuster film made an uninspiring debut.

The Dictator came in third with $24 million, Dark Shadows took in $12.5 million and rounding out the top 5 was What To Expect When You're Expecting at $10.3 million. »
Brooklyn Decker Box Office: Battleship Tanks, What To Expect Below Expectations
19 May 2012 8:47 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Battleship: Brooklyn Decker, Taylor Kitsch Brooklyn Decker has two box-office disappointments opening on the same weekend: Decker is featured in Battleship and What to Expect When You’re Expecting. Both movies opened way below expectations on Friday; in fact, official studio estimates released Saturday morning have them faring even worse than Friday night estimates indicated. Starring Taylor Kitsch, Peter Berg’s Battleship raked in $9m at 3,650 locations on Friday in the Us/Canada according to Box Office Mojo. That’s about $500k less than early estimates. For comparison’s sake: Joss Whedon’s The Avengers, at the start of its third weekend out, took in an estimated $15.3m. Box-office prognosticators were expecting Battleship to gross $40m on its first weekend out in North America. It turns out the alien invasion actioner / sci-fier will be lucky if it earns much more than $25m. A Universal release, Battleship cost a reported $209m. »

19 May 2012 2:47 PM, PDT | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
The Avengers stared down the barrels of Universal's Battleship and the frizzy beard of Paramount's The Dictator at the box office on Friday, and once again barely flinched in coming out on top.
Still showing no signs of slowing down headed into its third weekend of release, Disney and Marvel's The Avengers enjoyed another $15.3 million at the box office on Friday. Captain America (Chris Evans), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) have now accumulated $417.3 million domestically, crossing the $400 million mark faster than any film in history this past Thursday.
Battleship starring Taylor Kitsch, Rihanna, Liam Neeson and Brooklyn Decker never had a chance against The Avengers regardless of how much money Universal poured into it, which turned out to be somewhere just north of $200 millon depending on where you get your information. It's weak $9 million domestic opening on Friday puts it on pace for maybe a $30 million weekend, »
